Taboola Announces Successful Completion of Debt Refinancing, Significantly Reducing Annual Interest Expenses

/EIN News/ -- NEW YORK, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA), a global leader in delivering performance at scale for advertisers, today announced that it has entered into a new $270 million revolving credit facility. Concurrent with the closing, the Company used proceeds from the new facility to pay in full the $123.2 million of remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest under the prior term loan. Based on currently prevailing rates, the Company estimates the annual interest savings to be approximately $3 to $5 million.

Other benefits of the new revolving credit facility include:

• Increasing financial flexibility that can allow the company to hold a lower average debt balance and thereby create additional annual interest savings
• Extending the company’s debt maturities to 2030; and
• Providing approximately $180 million in additional debt capacity for enhanced financial flexibility.
  

“We are pleased to announce this significant refinancing transaction, which reduces our cost of capital, strengthens our liquidity and extends our debt maturities to 2030,” said Steve Walker, CFO of Taboola. “This financing further strengthens Taboola’s balance sheet and provides us with enhanced financial flexibility, which supports our ability to continue to invest in accelerating profitable growth while maintaining our aggressive share buyback program."
